When shopping for this recipe, be sure to grab a can of pumpkin purée instead of pumpkin pie filling. While the two are similar, they are not interchangeable. Pumpkin purée is, as the name suggests, simply puréed pumpkin. Pumpkin pie filling, on the other hand, has added sugars and spices.

Tip: Chill the coconut cream overnight. The extra time in the refrigerator encourages the cream to solidify, contributing to the creamy texture.
